	<h2>Dental work and cholesterol testing</h2>
	<p>
		I had more dental work done today.
		Apparently, I was only scheduled to have one of my three remaining cavities taken care of.
		Why were they not planning on doing all three?
		One of the assistants (there were two this time) offered me the option to just get it all over with today, saying it&apos;d take fifteen more minutes.
		Fifteen minutes?
		Seriously!?
		The commute to get there (one way) takes longer than that.
		That numbing gel they use takes time too.
		Why was this scheduled to be done on a separate visit?
	</p>
	<p>
		Some of the teeth they worked on were on the front top, so due to the proximity to my nose and the fact that the numbing medication spreads a bit, the drug messed with my nose as well.
		It felt like only the tip of my nose was affected a bit, until I actually touched my nose.
		Any kind of pressure made my nose feel really strange.
	</p>
	<p>
		It seems this&apos;ll be my last appointment for a while.
		They want me to come back in April for a risk assessment, but they don&apos;t book appointments that far in advance, so they&apos;re going to send me something by post that month telling me to come in and schedule the appointment.
		The dentist also offered not to extract that back tooth for now.
		They said there&apos;s a small chance of recovery and that the tooth won&apos;t need to be pulled after all, but the chances aren&apos;t good.
		Personally, I&apos;m not banking on it.
		I&apos;m considering the tooth to be a lost cause.
		However, I&apos;m really not up for another tooth-pulling right now if I don&apos;t need it.
		I&apos;ll wait until it acts up, and it <strong>*will*</strong> act up, then I&apos;ll return.
	</p>
	<p>
		I&apos;m kind of not happy.
		I mentioned at my last appointment the strange-feeling shape of one of the teeth they drilled on the appointment before.
		This time, they asked if I wanted them to grind that area to remove the strange ledge.
		I replied that I didn&apos;t.
		I figured as the filling was temporary and they plan to remove the filling and put something more permanent in later anyway, there was no point in messing with it.
		It&apos;s a temporary filling and a temporary problem.
		Once I left though, I realised that as the ledge is partly tooth matter, they&apos;d be grinding away my tooth, not just the filling.
		I was glad I&apos;d declined the offer!
		However, that ledge is gone now.
		I think they ground it away anyway!
		Either that, or they filled it in further.
		I honestly wouldn&apos;t mind it being filled in further, but I don&apos;t think that&apos;s what happened.
	</p>
	<p>
		Vanessa alerted me to the fact that a local department store is offering gratis cholesterol screenings.
		I&apos;ve set up an appointment there for in two days.
		Hopefully there&apos;s not any issues.

	<h2>Lucky number day</h2>
	<p>
		This week&apos;s lucky number was ... five, I think.
		I forgot to write it down right away.

	<h2>Minetest</h2>
	<p>
		I don&apos;t have time for Minetest.
		However, it&apos;s a fact that I&apos;m wasting time on certain leisurely activities to put off my coursework.
		I hate being here at this school.
		Anyway, the activities I&apos;ve been engaging in aren&apos;t good.
		They&apos;re bad enough that I won&apos;t admit what they are.
		Minetest is a much better alternative.
		For the past few days, I&apos;ve been thinking about a mod for making materials renewable.
		It was planned to be called <code>lexitweaks</code>, and just provide certain small tweaks to gameplay that fixed the sustainability issues.
		Little by little, pieces of this planned mod were broken off in my mind and developed into their own separate mods.
		One in particular was to be called <code>trace_minerals</code>, and would provide random mineral drops occasionally when mining stone.
		Eventually, this mod engulfed the others, and now, like the original <code>lexitweaks</code>, will provide the renewability for all items, but it&apos;ll use it&apos;s stone-mining mechanic for everything instead of having different types of renewability.
		I spent much of today working out the plans for it instead of working on coursework.
		I think it&apos;ll go well, once i find the time to implement it, which won&apos;t be for a while.
		I also updated <code>minestats</code> online.
		That update is <strong>*long*</strong> overdue; I didn&apos;t even write any new code for it today, I just tested a bit and released.

	<h2>University drudgery</h2>
	<p>
		The student that was trying to help me before gave me another hint.
		I&apos;m not sure how to use that one, but I&apos;ve figured out what to do with their first hint.
		Anyway, I should be able to get the work done on time (read: 21:00 tomorrow).
	</p>
	<blockquote>
		<p>
			I&apos;ve thought about combining functions, but I&apos;m not sure how to use that to solve the problem.
			However, I finally get how to use your first hint from the other day.
			My bad.
			Now I feel a bit dumb.
			You&apos;d never guess that I actually do maths for fun ...
			Certain oddball problems give me issues.
			Most of what I do though is algebra though, not pre-calculus stuff.
		</p>
	</blockquote>
	<p>
		I also continued the discussion assignment as scheduled:
	</p>
	<blockquote>
		<p>
			You make a good point about the fact that you could choose the second button to press based on what button C dispensed.
			No one else really addressed that.
			I&apos;d thought about it in the case of <strong>*having enough*</strong> money for both; if I had the money for both and wanted both, I&apos;d hit button C first for fun like you said, then choose my next button accordingly.
			However, I hadn&apos;t considered hitting it and coming back later.
			I&apos;d wait until I had money for both before buying either unless I had a use for a certain one over the other, in which case I&apos;d obviously choose that one.
		</p>
		<p>
			You make a good point about linearity, too.
			I hadn&apos;t considered that in the problem, but it would tip the scales a bit in favour of button A.
